The article discusses the evolution of search databases and how vector databases are emerging as a powerful alternative to traditional search engines like Elasticsearch.
BEAL is a deep active learning method that uses Bayesian deep learning with dropout to infer the model’s posterior predictive distribution and introduces an expected confidence-based acquisition function to select uncertain samples. Experiments show that BEAL outperforms other active learning methods, requiring fewer labeled samples for efficient training.
A guide on how to use OpenAI embeddings and clustering techniques to analyze survey data and extract meaningful topics and actionable insights from the responses.
The process involves transforming textual survey responses into embeddings, grouping similar responses through clustering, and then identifying key themes or topics to aid in business improvement.

Researchers from Cornell University developed a technique called 'contextual document embeddings' to improve the performance of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, enhancing the retrieval of relevant documents by making embedding models more context-aware.
Standard methods like bi-encoders often fail to account for context-specific details, leading to poor performance in application-specific datasets. Contextual document embeddings address this by enhancing the sensitivity of the embedding model to subtle differences in documents, particularly in specialized domains.
The researchers proposed two complementary methods to improve bi-encoders:
- Modifying the training process using contrastive learning to distinguish between similar documents.
- Modifying the bi-encoder architecture to incorporate corpus context during the embedding process.
These modifications allow the model to capture both the general context and specific details of documents, leading to better performance, especially in out-of-domain scenarios. The new technique has shown consistent improvements over standard bi-encoders and can be adapted for various applications beyond text-based models.
